| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Cell Cycle | Sequence of events from the production of a eukaryotic cell to the time cell it self. reproduces. |
| Mitosis | Process by which the nucleus and duplicated chromosomes of a cell divide and are evenly distributed, forming two daughter nucleic. |
| Interphase | stage of cell cycle during which a cell carries out its metabolic process and performs its functions in the body. |
| Cytokineses | Division of the cytoplasm. |
| Prophase | The first largest phase of mitosis: Chromation coll into visible chromosomes the nuclear envelope disappears, and the spindle forms. |
| Metaphase | Second phase of mitosis: chromosomes line up at the equator of the cell. |
| Anaphase | Third phase of mitosis: chromosomes split and are pulled apart towards opposite ends of the cell. |
| Telophase | Last phase of mitosis: two nuclei are formed and the chromosomes unroll. |
| Daughter cell | Term used describe the new cells created during mitosis and meiosis. |
| Cancer | Uncontrolled cell division. |
| Reproduction | Production of offspring by an organism. |
| Chromatin | Long tangled strands of DNA found the nucleus of the cell during Interphase. |
| Chomatids | Two exact copies of DNA that make up a chromosomes. |
| Centromere | Cell structure the joins the two sister chromatids of a chromosomes. |
| Chromosome | Cell structure that carries the genetic material that is copied and passed from generation to generation of a cell. Consist of 2 sister chromosome connected by a Centromere. |
| Spindle | cell structure compassed of micrutubes of micrutubes that aid in the process of cell division by moving the chromose through the process |
| Aster | Star-shaped structure that forms around the contrioles during cell division composed of micrutubes |
| Cleavage furrow | Indentatios of the |
